This documentary is the most enlightening and informative look at the REAL Elvis Presley that I have ever seen! It tells so much more about the MAN than any other documentary, book, magazine, etc. has ever told about the IMAGE. Elvis once said that "It's hard to live up to an image.", and although he's been captured by society as the "image" of the "King of Rock 'N Roll" (watch this DVD to find out what he has to say about that!), there was so much more to him than simply his "image". He was a man who loved God, loved gospel music, and had a deep, genuine faith. This DVD captures the essence of the REAL Elvis, allowing fans and spectators alike to see more of who he really was, how he really felt, and what he really valued than anything that's ever been produced about him before. If you like Elvis, you'll LOVE this DVD! If you think you know Elvis, you need to watch this DVD! If you love God and HIS music, you need to get this DVD so you can enjoy the enormous talent and soul-felt performances by the legendary Elvis Presley as he sings about his God and his faith! Elvis was a man blessed of God with a tremendous talent and a world of opportunitiy to share it in, but he was also a man who was imprisoned by his fame, and tortured by the loneliness that this caused. He wasn't perfect, but he was blessed, and he knew it. Watch this DVD to see how real his faith was to him, and how desperately he leaned on it to make it through the difficult days of his "Fame and Fortune", his days of "Hurt", and his struggles as he sought "Peace in the Valley". This is a wonderful documentary! Don't miss it! Get yours today!

I have always loved Elvis' Gospel music. This DVD shows an indepth look into the Spiritual life of Elvis and his love and longing to love the Lord. I found the interviews to be very inspiring and hopeful for Elvis' salvation. One interview with one of the Sweet Inspirations tells of Elvis and praying and laying hands for healing on one of the girls because she had an tumor which she was healed of.
Any fan of E who wants to know the deepest workings of the man must have this DVD to understand him and trials. One book quotes his aunt believing Elvis did all his drugs because of the guilt of his life style. With that said remember these things Elvis died reading Insearch of the Face of Jesus and the King of Rock and Roll won 3 Grammies ALL for GOSPEL music!!! GOD bless you all JB

I caught this biography on my local PBS station. I was almost moved to tears, as He Touched Me brought to life the spirituality and faith of Elvis Presley. Here was not the Elvis of the tabloids or the Elvis of popular assumption. Here was an Elvis that was entirely down-to-earth, a man who performed and sang with real conviction and real faith behind his words. As told in the biography, Elvis once stopped a concert midway to point out to screaming fans in the first row that, despite their sign proclaiming him King, he was not, and that God was. He Touched Me is full of inspiring revelations of the Elvis we all think we know.

Elvis knew who the "REAL KING" IS!!! If you thought he was just "COOL", then take a look and listen to the Real Man, and you will get a much deeper respect and love for him. Very personal interviews, story's, and Performances, You'll Only Get Here!(If you Love Jesus and Elvis) This is a MUST-HAVE!! Enjoy & BE-BLESSED! (ScottyG. Knows You Will)!!!!!

I think Elvis gospels are great. The problem with this nice DVD is that it's filled for more than 50% of people who are talking about Elvis. The one thing I did not like was that the songs, which I think are the most important, are cut into pieces with people who are talking about Elvis. There is no way that you can listen and see Elvis perform without the talking. For the diehards it's a real must, but for me who like the songs the most, will give this DVD away.

This is a great (2) disk DVD set that shows a side of Elvis that was not as well known as the "King of Rock & Roll" side was. Many of the King's closest friends and work companions give insight into his true first love, singing Gospel music. Elvis is shown as a deeply spiritual person who spent many hours singing hymns with friends. Thsi is truly a great and moving DVD for listeners of all ages.

The concept is good- Elvis singing gospel with commentary. What will leave Elvis fan very dissapointed is the fact that his songs are cut off for the sake of commentary. This is a common complaint. What could have been a great DVD is now severely flawed in it's execution and will leave Elvis fans exasperated and pulling their hair out. Considering that his Gospel music was the only music that won him Grammy awards and is arguably some of his best and most inspired work- Elvis fans deserve better. Email or contact the licensing Executive (currently Irene Houston- 800-238-2000) at Elvis Presley Enterprises (Corporate Division)and make your request that this be re-released as a Collector's Edition with full length songs.

Everyone knows the story of Elvis from the 50's rocker to the 60s movie star to the 70's vegas performer. But this offers not only excellent gospel music but also a look on the inside of how much gospel music meant to Elvis and those he surrounded himself with.

Instead of interviews with the standard cast of characters like Joe Esposito and others this offers insight from people you know from on stage but atleast I had not scene interviewed before.

Simply put this exceeded my expectations and I only wish there was more footage of Elvis singing gospel, but unfortunately I believe it is very limited. If you are an Elvis fan you will enjoy this compilation.

I was really exited when I first discovered that there is a dvd available about Elvis's Gospel music. Although the 2-dvd set was a great documentary, I expected more... I wanted to see Elvis perform "He Touched Me, Amazing Grace, Bosom of Abraham, I John", etc. Maybe mosty of his gospel songs are only on cd... If there could be a dvd with scene selections covering Elvis's gospel music, I will be the first to buy because Elvis sings Gospel music wonderfully!

I loved this DVD set. There were a lot of interesting details of Elvis' spiritual recordings and interviews with friends and musicians who were involved. The title is apt for this video. I would highly recommend it to fans of Elvis and those who may just be curious about the man or what inspired him.
